Read Aloud

readWe hope that those who attended Eileen’s celebration of Read Aloud Day enjoyed themselves. That Elmer book did seem to be capturing the children’s attention when I called in. Unfortunately Eileen had to postpone the afternoon session as several children or parents were ill so she hopes to reschedule it for another time when you are all feeling better. Thanks again to Eileen for organising another great idea.

Afternoon Pancakes

The afternoon children enjoyed a Pancake Day breakfast with their families just like the morning children last week. Here you can see them tucking in to the pancakes, crepes and fruit then performing an impromptu song to entertain us all. Thank you to everyone who was able to join us – it helped to make this a lovely social occasion for the children.

Thank you For Your Comments

Owen’s family has been looking at the photos of the monsters that the children made at home:

“Owen really enjoyed this task, he didn’t want to do a scary monster which is why he did a ‘friendly’ robot which he calls Stuart. Great for their imagination!”

We loved your monster Owen and think that it looks just like a Stuart – good name choice. Well done!

Kacey’s family enjoyed the Pancake Day breakfast:

“Thank you for inviting us for breakfast it was really lovely.”

It’s great when we can get together for these little social occasions. Thank you to all those who were able to join us.

Pancake Day Breakfast

Last week’s Pancake Day breakfast was well attended by parents and grandparents and we thank you for your very positive feedback. The children seemed to enjoy trying out the different food options and it was lovely to see everyone enjoying a chat over their breakfast. Our singing had not been practised but the most of the children showed themselves to be confident to contribute to a little performance in front of an audience. Thank you to Eileen, our Family Learning Co-ordinator, for organising this event. We appreciate all her hard work and hope that you all enjoyed yourselves. Here are the morning children enjoying their breakfast. Afternoon photos will follow soon.

Proud Family

Olivia’s family is delighted with her recent certificate:

“Aww Olivia looks as proud as punch with her award! We are so proud of how brave she has been at nursery and is settling in really quickly with help from all the lovely staff who have been amazing with her! Thank you!”

Thank you very much for your kind comment. Olivia is a star and thoroughly deserves her award. Well done Olivia!

Musical Magic

The Rainbow Room children were very lucky recently to hear some genuine Scottish fiddle music when James’ Mum came in to play for us. They learned lots about the fiddle and seemed particularly surprised to learn that the hair on the bow was from a horse’s tail. They saw what music looks like and enjoyed clapping along to a great variety of Scottish tunes. We talked about how different pieces made us feel and James Mum was even kind enough to play “Three Craws” so that we could all sing along. Just when we thought that there was nothing left to be amazed at, James’ Mum produced a penny whistle and let us hear what that sounded like.
We would like to thank James’ Mum very much for spending time with us and providing the children with a great experience. Thank you also to her superb assistant James who was so good at holding the music and made a great attempt at being a musician himself. We look forward to hearing his performances when he is a little older.

Come and Play

Dylan’s Mum has been looking at our football photos:

“All the children look really focused on what their doing with their footballs and like they are having lots of fun. Dylan has been showing us what he was learning with his football at home, sounds like super fun”

She also left a lovely message about her visit in to Nursery to play:

“I thoroughly enjoyed my morning in the nursery, thankyou, all the staff and children were very welcoming, it was so nice to see first hand at what Dylan gets up to in nursery day to day and how much fun he has with all his friends. I had great fun playing in the Chinese restaurant where I was cooked a yummy chicken and rice dish by a few of the children, it was good to hear how well their conversational and turntaking skills are developing as they asked me what i wanted, wrote down my order, cooked it, and asking me how it was. Thanks again for the opportunity to be able to pop in to stay and play, I’ll definatley be back again”

We love it when parents and other family members come in to play. Please do come back in anytime. The children really enjoyed your visit and it sounds like you enjoyed their hospitality in the Chinese restaurant.
